Upon learning the truth, Nathan's heart felt particularly heavy. It was as if it had been filled with lead, making his once trusting and loving heart swell and bulge, only to eventually crumble under the weight of betrayed trust and shattered love, exploding into tiny pieces with a loud bang.
His face was very pale, and his tall body was still swaying slightly.
He finally concluded: his love with Victoria was nothing but a blatant festival of lies.
How ridiculous.
Victoria was a lie generator, and he was the one who executed the lies.
Victoria borrowed his knife and slaughtered all his loved ones. And he, eagerly became her lapdog.
Nathan, you were really mean.
Nathan left tremblingly.
Thea looked skeptical and said, "Just giving up on returning it like that?" It didn't seem like Nathan's style.
In the days of Capital, the winds of change were stirring once again.
With Nathan's assistance, Guillermo rose to succes
When he was six years old, the birthday gift they gave him was - begging on the streets.He was like a monkey in the zoo, thrown onto the street to be rewarded by people. Now, with his perfected character cultivation, whenever he recalls the situation of that day, he feels incredibly humiliated - as if life is not worth living.Fortunately, he was blessed by the heavens.A girl walked out from the crowd, thin and tall, with two braids on her head. Although her clothes were worn-out, they were very clean and tidy. Her delicate and lovely face was adorned with a pair of eyes that resembled black gemstones, shining like stars; there was also a sweet smile hanging on her slightly chubby face.He saw her and his eyes lit up.He had never seen such a beautiful girl before, as if she was a bright moon in his dark world, illuminating his pitch-black path.The little girl did something that would always give him infinite courage to take actions again
After the stepmother finished her performance, it was his father's turn to take the stage. "Son, I am your father, I am here to take you home."His eyes were slightly reddened, with a hint of tears shimmering.Innocent Theo believed in the mercy of paternal love, as after all, even tigers do not eat their own offspring.Theo turned his head towards the direction of the slums, his eyes filled with reluctance. He truly didn't want to leave Sister Bella.But thinking about the hardships his sister went through because of him, he resisted all the longing in the end and let Dayton lead him back home.In the following days, every day was filled with scheming and fighting between the wicked stepmother and stepbrother. However, he was very grateful to his sister, for it was she who taught him the cruel ways of survival with a delicate and transparent heart. It allowed him to grow up smoothly in the midst of the Sanchez family.He concealed his sharp
That night, Theo and Thea had a long talk.In Thea's eyes, Theo was probably just an inexperienced young boy. She worried that he couldn't withstand the pain of being betrayed by loved ones, and she worried that he would encounter many hardships on his escape journey... From being cautious in making friends to taking care of his basic needs, she gave him detailed instructions on every aspect, leaving no stone unturned.And Theo, as the audience, was captivated.Thea realized that she seemed to be a one-woman show, and she smiled shyly, saying, "Theodore, sister may be getting old. That's why she's a bit talkative."Theo held her hand and said, "I love to hear what sister says. Please say more."In this world, there was only Thea who could teach him so respectfully.Didn't Theo cherish this rare opportunity?Many timesTheo's gaze was complicated, and he seemed to want to interrupt her words, but in the end, he couldn't bring hi
Nathan leaned in closer to Victoria and eagerly said, "Thea is an exceptional designer, and I need you to help me think of a gift that can touch her heart. I want to mend our past grievances and have her continue as the Chief Designer of the Sanchez Group."Victoria's face turned pale.She exclaimed in disbelief, "Nathan, what did you say? You want me to give you advice? Help you choose a gift for Thea?""Ah," Nathan nodded.Victoria broke down and wailed, "Nathan, you were dreaming! I would never degrade myself by helping my husband please other women."A shallow mockery flickered in Nathan's hawk-like eyes."I don't know where your temper comes from. When Isabella was my wife, she was much more generous than you. Not only could she tolerate me giving you gifts, but she could also tolerate me taking care of you by the bedside... As sisters, you have a much smaller heart than her."Victoria was so angry that she almost v
Nathan hung up the phone and looked out the window at the dimly lit night.Why did his heart ache when he found out that Victoria was sick?Knowing full well that she was hypocritical and not worthy of his deep love, he still loved her as if it were imprinted in his very marrow. It was his instinct.Hospital.Thea sat in the car and saw Nathan's car approaching from a distance. A clever smile spread across her face.With delicate jade-like hands resting on the car door, her meticulously manicured nails shimmered with a sparkling white glow under the streetlight. Gracefully opening the door, Thea, dressed in a vibrant red vest dress, resembled a bundle of passionate fire as she walked towards the entrance of the hospital, swaying her graceful figure."Thea," Nathan suddenly called out to him from behind.Thea's lips curled slightly, and she turned around slowly.A hunter revealed a triumphant smile upon seeing the prey.N
Thea smiled and said, "Sister, I waited with bated breath."She suddenly took out a key and threw it onto the bedside table, saying, "Oh, this is the key to the Moore family's old house. I am returning it to you."Victoria's eyes lit up. "Are you really that kind-hearted? You went through so much trouble to get it, how could you willingly give it back to me?"Thea stared at her as if she were a fool and said, "Who said I'm going to give the house back to you? I just changed the lock to a smart one with a peephole. This key is no longer needed. Consider it a souvenir."Victoria's face turned green with anger."Thea, you were so malicious. You schemed and took away my father's house, leaving my parents with nowhere to turn."Thea laughed heartily and said, "Sister, you have misunderstood me. It was clearly you who refused to take care of our sick father and entrusted me with the responsibility of his life. And Dad feels guilty towards me. He h
After Nathan's handsome face twisted into a grimace, he let out a furious roar, which had been pent up in his heart for days, as a way to release his frustration.Once revered father figure Nathan, eventually severed all ties with paternal love after discovering his father's infidelity and abandoning his despicable facade.Alaric looked at Nathan in shock. It turned out that he used to be a leopard, and everyone feared him when he got angry. So he was arrogant and never concealed his bad temper.However, at this moment, when Nathan roared mercilessly at him with his powerful voice, he seemed to realize that the once fragile little leopard had grown fangs, and that he would eventually grow old.He stood up tremblingly, pointing at Nathan, but clearly lacked confidence. "You have committed a great betrayal..."Nathan exclaimed angrily, "If being a filial child means being used and abandoned by my father, then I would rather be a rebellious child."
As soon as these words were spoken, even the experienced and battle-hardened Alaric was dumbfounded. "You—" he was so enraged that he almost had a stroke.But that shareholder continued unabated, "Mr. Hill, why aren't you speaking?"Alaric forcefully placed the tea cup from the water onto the table, making a loud noise to express his dissatisfaction."What do you mean? Are you trying to force me to resign? Haha, but don't forget, the Hill Group was founded by our Hill family, and I still hold the majority of the shares. No matter what, I am still the owner of the company.""Mr. Hill, this is double standards. When Mr. Hill made a mistake, he used his power to oppress others. But why should Nathan be expelled from the company when he made a mistake?" The shareholder and Alaric confronted each other.Alaric stared at him with a sinister look and asked, "What exactly do you mean by constantly putting me in difficult situations?"The share
Samuel howled, "But I didn't want to accept it."It was late.Drake came in holding a roster. He opened the roster, which had photos of the blind date participants - some with makeup, some without, as well as candid shots and work photos. It also contained the archival records of the individuals from birth until now."Please take a look."Kassidy eagerly took the boys' roster, while Samuel held the girls' roster and they both started flipping through them."Wow. They're all so good." Kassidy exclaimed enthusiastically, "So handsome and talented... I like every one of them. Except for this rich young man... What a nickname, 'Foodie'? This photo must have been photoshopped, definitely a chubby person..."She threw the roster to Drake, "Everyone except him."Drake smirked.Samuel pouted and said, "This chest is too small.""This hair color was too yellow." "This leg was a bit thick.""This waist would be perfect if i
Eric returned home and only then did he realize that his mother, Hana, had already been discharged from the hospital. Ingrid's attitude towards him had become much colder. In fact, she even showed a hint of disgust towards him."Eric, where have you been hiding these days when mom had a car accident and was hospitalized?"Eric, with the postoperative sequelae, was very weak and feeble, saying, "I had a little accident..."Hana finally noticed something unusual about her son, “What's wrong with you?"Eric lifted up the hem of his shirt, revealing the surgical scar on his lower back. "I had my kidney taken away by someone."Hana's pupils dilated, filled with fear. "How could this happen?"Eric closed his eyes in pain and said, "This matter is hard to put into words."Ingrid, who was skilled in calculations, immediately realized that the value of Eric's utilization had been discounted."You were not feeling well now, so will you b
Eric said, "Kassidy, please stop talking. I believe this wasn't done by you. Your character is just like your mother's, both of you are honest and kind people, who would never stoop to such despicable means."He lowered his head in shame and said, "I am getting what I deserved."Kassidy stared at Eric expressionlessly. It was strange, as once she had faced Nathan's myriad of turbulent and grand emotions, but now she was calm like dead ashes.In the end, she simply said, "I didn't mean to not save you. I truly didn't realize how difficult your situation was."With boundless hatred towards that man, Emma pleaded with Kassidy, "So now, could you please help us seek justice?" Despite the pleading tone, her voice was firm, tinged with a hint of reluctant inexperience.Kassidy stared at her coldly and said, "Why should I help you?"Emma was stunned, and then her little face turned bright red.Yeah, why did Kassidy save her?She shoul
Emma trembled as she asked, "Which place do you want?"The man's gaze fell on Eric's waist, “Kidney."Eric couldn't help but feel a chill run through his entire body, as if every nerve was connected to his heart. A sense of unbearable despair washed over him from his heart."I disagreed," Eric roared.The man looked at him with an increasingly cold gaze, “My son was sick. He was the same age as you all, but he developed kidney failure at such a young age. The doctor said he must have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he won't survive this year. I won't let him die, so I must find a suitable kidney source for him... As long as he can live, I don't care about breaking the law..."Eric shouted impatiently, "You idiot, not everyone's kidney is suitable for him. If we give him our kidney, it could cause rejection, and your son would die even faster."Snap-The man slapped Eric in the face and menacingly said, "How dare you curse my so
The man's face darkened, and his eyes, filled with a predatory gaze, stared at Eric. "You wouldn't be deceiving me, would you? Eric, do you realize the consequences of deceiving me?"Eric was speechless, he was dumbfounded by the man's lack of intelligence. "My phone is in your hands, I didn't have time to tamper with it. Kassidy's phone number has always been stored in my phone. If you can't reach her, it's probably because her phone is currently with her."The man thought for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give you another fifteen minutes. If Kassidy doesn't call to confirm that you have some relationship with her, then I won't be polite to you."Time passed by minute by minute.Eric's heart grew more and more anxious. He didn't know if Kassidy would call back in such a short amount of time.As the moment of the clock was about to end, Eric's phone rang. Eric let out a sigh of
Eric looked at the screen, but Samuel's words kept echoing in his ears. Suddenly, he fell to his knees, covering his face with both hands, tears and rainwater streaming through his fingers.Yes, Isabella has always been well. She was strong and optimistic, born in adversity but with a heart to overcome obstacles. She was loyal to love and loyal to her family, so she could receive selfless love from her family.Isabella, who was so good, was looked down upon by him in his past life. Now, as he finds himself trapped in a quagmire and realizes the hardships Isabella went through, he discovers that he cannot be as good as her at all. Eric is overwhelmed with shame.He deeply realized that he was not worthy of Isabella.However, Eric soon emerged from the melancholy of lost love. He had to save Emma, and the longer he delayed, the greater the danger she faced.He got up and ran hard.This time, he couldn't help but run for a long ti
Thea suddenly touched her face and said, "Your mother was young and still had her charm. If she had married a middle-aged man who was a good match for her, they could have built a marriage together. Maybe they could have lived a comfortable and peaceful life. But your mother insisted on flattering William and indulging in unrealistic dreams. In the end, she lost both her dignity and her wealth.""Ingrid, remember my words well: Be down-to-earth and work hard in life. Don't try to take shortcuts, as those who seek to gain without effort will not have a good outcome.""By the way, also tell Eric these words."Thea finished speaking and left gracefully.Little did she know, Eric, hiding in the stairwell, understood her words perfectly. He was now caught in a dilemma: a grounded life?Can he still reach the height of his past life?After Hana was discharged from the hospital, faced with a large amount of compensation money, she had no choice but
Hana was so angry that she trembled all over, "I never expected you rich people to be so unreasonable and heartless."Olivia laughed in anger, "I never expected you poor people to stoop so low in your desperate attempts to climb the social ladder. Even resorting to using your own uterus. Oh, not all poor people are as spineless as you, my sister Thea has a lot of pride."Hana took a desperate measure, treating the dead horse as if it were alive, and said, "If William is not willing to take responsibility, then I will accuse him of negligence.""Oh, so you finally reveal your true colors, huh? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Do you have any evidence? If you do, bring it out immediately, and we will register this child's household registration right away. If you don't have any evidence, it's not you suing him, but us suing you for damaging William's reputation."Hana couldn't argue with Olivia and left in a huff.Olivia continued to playfully
Hana panicked, "William, I was just momentarily anxious and spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry, I won't say these nonsense words again in the future."William was exhausted and said, "Let it go."The other side.Hana heard the busy tone coming from her phone, and her face froze. She looked helplessly at the pair of children next to her and said with great disappointment, "He wants me to hit this child? Just because I said bad things about her daughter being selfish and self-centered?"Eric frowned, deeply experiencing the despair of having a teammate who was a liability. He weakly retorted, "How many times have I told you that William is obsessed with spoiling girls? If you're with her, the stepmother will have to treat you better than your own mother. But you foolishly want to compete for favor with Jade."Hana held her son's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Son, can you help me? How can I change his mind? I don't want to terminate
